1 atmospheric pressure = 760.0 mm Hg

Thus 580 mm Hg = (580 mm Hg/(760 mm Hg/atm))

= 0.763 atm

Find the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 500 atm if the density at the surface is 1100 kg/m^3 . Seawater ha

The density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 500 atm is $1124kg/m^3$

Explanation:

The relationship between bulk modulus and pressure is the following:

$B=\rho_0 \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta \rho}$

where

B is the bulk modulus

$\rho_0$ is the density at surface

$\Delta p$ is the variation of pressure

$\Delta \rho$ is the variation of density

In this problem, we have:

$B=2.3\cdot 10^9 N/m^2$ is the bulk modulus

$\rho_0 =1100 kg/m^3$

$\Delta p = p-p_0 = 500 atm - 1 atm = 499 atm = 5.05\cdot 10^7 Pa$ is the change in pressure with respect to the surface (the pressure at the surface is 1 atm)

Therefore, we can find the density of the water where the pressure is 500 atm as follows:

$\rho = \rho_0 + \Delta \rho = \rho_0+\frac{\rho_0 \Delta p}{B}=\rho_0 (1+\frac{\Delta p}{B})=(1100)(1+\frac{5.05\cdot 10^7}{2.3\cdot 10^9})=1124kg/m^3$

Water changes shape to fill the shape of its container. What is the best explanation for this?

jeka57 [31]

D. The molecules in water are constantly moving.

They are able to do this because they move around to take whatever shape of the container.
